Fax Referral Service
The Smokers’ Helpline Fax Referral service captures what matters most to tobacco users; support, motivation, and understanding. As a health professional all you need to do is invest the time to identify patients interested in receiving telephone counselling from the Smokers' Helpline. If they express an interest in quitting then you and your patient complete a fax referral form, you fax it to the Smokers' Helpline and the rest is in the hands of the Smokers' Helpline. Quit coaches will assess individual needs, listen to patient’s concerns and provide information on how to develop a quit plan, and cope with withdrawal symptoms, slips and relapses. Free one-to-one services are provided in both English and French.
The revised Smokers’ Helpline Fax Referral form now provides more information regarding the health professional as well as the client. Key to the success of the Smokers’ Helpline Fax Referral Service is the permission of the client for the quit coaches to contact you should there be any questions concerning the client’s needs.
The New Brunswick Anti-Tobacco Coalition and the Canadian Cancer Society, NB Division offer the Smokers’ Helpline to all residents of New Brunswick.
